Shall we review the immunities and resistances. The original 4E monster only has immunity to disease and is resistant to necrotic and poison damage, plus it has an Insubstantial trait that lets it take half damage from any damage source except fire, force or radiant. Despite being a...

Agreed. I'd like to polish the wording a bit though, how about: Tethered Flight. The scarlet mist can only fly within 10 feet of a surface able to support the weight of a Medium sized creature. It can spread its weight over a 10 foot wide area, allowing it to fly across water or quicksand and...

I was calling the undead one a Scarlet Mist.

I mainly called the undead ones a Scarlet Death and Scarlet Mist so they'd be next to each other in the Index. The Crimson Death is properly called a Crimson Death Mist in 2E, so I'm indexing it as "Mist, Crimson Death" so the "Mist, Blood" will be right in front of it.

Aiming for CR 5 is fine by me. The Fourth Edition Vampiric Mist is Level 9, the same as a standard edition 4E Troll, and Trolls are Challenge 5 in 5E.

Dang it, I called the 4E-inspired undead version the Scarlet Mist. The Blood Mist is the monstrosity version based on the original Vampire Mist. EDIT: Just realized I'd accidentally copied the same URL twice in the links so both pointed to the Blood Mist monstrosity. Have corrected the Scarlet...

That looks good to go. Updating the Scarlet Death Working Draft. Updating the Index of 5th Edition Conversions of 4E Monsters. Updating the Completed Fifth Edition Creatures Index.

I'd rather use an Oxford comma in Shifting Mists as I think it's a little less ambiguous. The D&D Beyond version currently has "The scarlet death can disengage, dodge or dash as a bonus action." The Enworld Working Draft has "The scarlet death can disengage, dodge, or dash as a bonus action."...

The Fourth Edition version does have some different game mechanics to the other Vampiric Mists I was thinking about including for the Enworld interpretation, including the Wave of Lethargy and Siphoning Presence you fancied for the Scarlet Death. The Blood Scarlet Mist Working Draft has my...

Let's check… It's still got frightened in Condition Immunities. The Enworld version has Condition Immunities charmed, exhaustion, grappled, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned, prone, restrained. Its Lifesense still has a "mist", it should start Lifesense. The scarlet death can sense the location...

Just noticed a typo in the Scarlet Death Working Draft. Its tendrils do 3d6 + 5 but I mistyped a 7 instead. Will fix that in the next update. Going though the above in order. The Enworld version doesn't have "typically" in its alignment, it's just "neutral evil" like the original monster...

Updating the Scarlet Death Working Draft. So I guess it's done. Which misty menace do you fancy working on next? We were talking about doing a low-CR undead based on the 4E version of the undead Vampiric Mist, tentatively called a Scarlet Mist as well as two monstrosities: a weak Blood Mist...

Gaah! An earlier draft started "Scarlet deaths" and I missed the s when I singularised the first sentence. I'm not in favour of keeping it. We can give it to the Crimson Death Mist.

How's this: Advanced Ihagnim Ihagnim don't advance like normal monsters but increase in Hit Dice by using their devour special attack. For each Hit Dice it gains, an ihagnim grows roughly a foot in diameter and its Intelligence score increases by +1, up to a 16 feet diameter and Intelligence 16...

I didn't, but that doesn't take long to whip up: A transparent mass of colorless flesh. It body seems more fluid than solid, flowing from one shape to another before settling briefly on a disc-like form two or three yards across. One of the few lifeforms native to the Astral Plane, ihagnim...

Hmm… A scarlet death is a vaporous undead that haunt marshes, moors and other locales that are naturally misty or foggy. It is so named because the normally whitish creature flushes red after draining blood. This undead resembles a small cloud with a vaguely humanoid top half with two arms that...

Yup. It's not that surprising that Utahraptor ostrommaysi turned up in a D&D publication so quickly. Lots of RPG fans and dinosaur fans too, and Utahraptor got a lot of press from being compared to the Jurassic Park Velociraptors.

Okay… Updating the Scarlet Death Working Draft. In that case that's the mechanics done, so we just need a Description.

Second Edition lasted until 2000 AD. The Utahraptor conversion is based on 2E AD&D stats from Dragon Magazine #54 (1995). The conversions include source credits where appropriate that should hopefully clear up the confusion.
